Gersh Autism
Gersh Autism is dedicated to changing the lives of children on the autism spectrum. It is built on Kevin Gersh’s personal experience and professional commitment to provide opportunities, inspiration, and guidance for every child to reach their full potential, regardless of the challenges they face.
We operate under the idea that as long as there are families that need guidance and individuals that need assistance, we will always have more work to do. Our mission is evident in the many programs we create and the hours we put in to change the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum everywhere.
